Add Content Blocks

Content blocks form the body of each email, and are easily stackable to create a sleek design with logical communication flow. Choose from different types of content blocks  such as text boxes, images, buttons, and playlists as you design your campaign.

Content block options are highlighted to the right

To add a content block to your email, just drag and drop it above or below the existing blocks in your template. You'll see a yellow “Insert here” tab appear when it's ready to be dropped:
